Wall Panels at the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair

I had a really lovely time exhibiting at The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair this weekend. It was a fantastic and inspiring show. The quality of the work was fabulous and SO many lovely people came. All in all I'd say it was a total success!

I exhibited my first completed wall panels which went down very well. It was great to see them up and on the wall after many months of working towards the finished product. Now they are going to the Lighting Association for CE marking and then they will be ready to go out in the big wide world....

Yorkshire designer/makers in Yorkshire Post Magazine

I was part of a lovely feature in the Yorkshire Post Magazine this weekend. The article highlighted some of the Yorkshire based makers that are taking part in the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair at the end of this week. The other featured makers were silversmith Rebecca Jocelyn, wirework artist Helaina Sharpley, textile artist Clare Lane and Samantha Bryan with her amazing 'Brains Fairies'! Have a look at their inspiring work on their websites...or better still come and visit us at the show!!!

Campions...

I always loved the red campions in the hedgerows when I lived in Wales...I don't see them so much around here. They are about but not in such profusion. Wales was rich in hedgerows. When my children were small we lived in a cottage up a cobbled track behind the church in Laugharne. The hedgrows on either side of the track were taller than me and were full of plant life. I am working on a piece that reflects that memory. Vetches, Ferns, Campions and Honeysuckle and more....
